Storage Advice
If you are considering storing some of your goods due to a move or building works, or perhaps just to clear some space the following advice will help you to ensure that your property remains in good condition. 

  • Sort your goods into type; keep paper, cds, china, etc. together so that they may be wrapped correctly.

  • Make sure you have sufficient packaging materials (good quality boxes or cartons, tissue paper for delicates, box files for paperwork, and bubble wrap to protect breakables). It is a good idea to wrap items such as sofas in plastic sheeting. Ensure you have plenty of packing tape and packing peanuts. Supplement breakables with lots of crumpled paper, blankets and pillows.

  • Make sure that you label each box with what is inside, and try to do one room at once.

  • Try to wrap items individually and then stack items like plates on their edges rather than on top of each other,  to minimize the effects of up and down jolts whilst in transit.

  • If items are to be stored for a lengthy period you must ensure that there is no moisture or dampness in anything to be stored.

  • Keep the weight of boxes practical.

  • Do not pack material goods such as clothes and bedding in plastic as they may sweat.

  • Do not use newspaper on valuable or delicate items as the print may come off and cause damage.

  • Washing machines and outside furniture should be cleaned thoroughly and dried using dry cloth. Items such as fridges should be cleaned and dried and left with the doors open.

  • Don't apply tape directly to polished or painted surfaces.

  • Glass surfaces and mirrors can be strengthened by placing a x on them with masking tape. 

  • Place fragile items in an extra box and provide plenty of cushioning. Mark clearly 'fragile' and 'this way up' and 'do not stack on top of'' (or other instructions)

  • When placing items into your storage container keep items from touching the sides or the roof. Make sure that lighter items are not stored under heavier goods, and that your stacking is secure.

  • It is best to retain important personal papers and documents.
